Cost-effective horse breeding in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia.

Abstract: There is a lack of reliable data in agribusiness regarding the economic efficiency of horse breeding, and this limits its further development. The purpose of this study was to create rational parameters for the development of productive horse breeding as an effective agricultural business, in particular, in relation to farms. Methods: The methods of investigation used were induction and deduction, as well as analytical, statistical, and economic-mathematical analysis. We also used the dynamics of time series, CVP analysis, direct costing, and microeconomic analysis. Data were taken from the Russian Federation's official statistics on animal husbandry as well as closed (commercial) data of agricultural enterprises from our study region. Results: Horse ownership in the Republic of Bashkortostan is higher than in the rest of Russia with about 9% of the total number of horses in Russia. We found that landowners need one hectare of arable land to ensure profit and that the highest economic income occurs on farms specializing in kumis production. The production of kumis under intensive farming is less profitable than with free-range horses kept in pastures. Family farms need a large amount of arable land with natural foliage to balance space and profit. Conclusions: Successful implementation of these parameters will make it possible to turn agriculture into successful horse breeding businesses. The expected volume of agricultural production may be approximately 9-11 thousand US dollars per employee.

The research studied the economic efficiency of horse breeding in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, suggesting necessary parameters for successful implementation of an agricultural horse breeding business based on the data collected from Russian Federation’s official statistics and select agricultural enterprises.

Objective and Methods Used

  • The primary goal of this research was to devise rational parameters for the expansion of profitable horse breeding as an efficient agricultural enterprise in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
  • To achieve this, the researchers employed a variety of methodologies including statistical analysis, economic-mathematical analysis, induction and deduction, and microeconomic analysis. They also utilized data from official Russian statistics and commercial data from agricultural businesses in the study region.

Findings

  • The study revealed that horse ownership in the Republic of Bashkortostan is higher than the rest of Russia, representing approximately 9% of all horses in the country.
  • The researchers found that landowners require at least one hectare of arable land to make a profit.
  • The highest economic income was registered on farms specializing in kumis (a fermented dairy product traditionally made from mare’s milk) production.
  • However, producing kumis under intensive farming conditions is less profitable than using free-range horses kept in pastures.
  • The findings suggest that family farms demand a significant amount of arable land with natural foliage to balance space and profit effectively.

Conclusions

  • The research suggests that the successful application of these findings could help transform underproductive agricultural operations into successful horse breeding businesses.
  • The expected volume of agricultural production could reach between 9 to 11 thousand US dollars per employee, offering a significant economic advantage.
